They would often have a surprise ending and moral.Serling mastered the art of ironic fate and poetic justice. Many times his characters would meet an end that would be satisfying, but oftentimes ironic.Example: “Time Enough at Last” - story about a man who works for a bank and wants nothing more than just to sit at home and read.Some of my favorite episodes:“Time Enough at Last”“The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street” - literally the best one“Where is Everybody?” - about going to the moon. Is also a recurring theme in the TZ, being the last person on earth, city, town“The After Hours” - made me afraid of mannequins“Eye of the Beholder” - easiest moral to understand“Little Lost Girl” - showed how tension could build to incredible heights with such a short, simple story“It’s a Good Life” - so scaryInitial Impact: Zach has a history watching this show with his dad while growing up.

During this episode of the Lab Coat Agents Podcast, host Jeff Pfitzer speaks with wholesaler Cody Hofhine. Cody shares his strategy for connecting wholesale investors with cash buyers to generate more deals. Listen for a ton of impactful marketing and business development advice. Episode Highlights:  Cody is not a licensed real estate professional. Cody started as a sales rep for vinyl fencing and found a mentor in a colleague in that field. This led him to being a salesperson for homeowner insurance and founded his own insurance agency. He found his way into wholesaling homes, asked someone to mentor him, and he was told no because he didn’t want more competitors.  Cody started self-educating with podcasts and other resources, and within 40 days he got his first deal that paid him $24,000. Lab Coat Agents works from a place of abundance not scarcity, and Jeff points out that the person who turned down Cody as mentor is probably working from a scarcity mindset. Cody has an unstoppable drive and was willing to take imperfect action to get started. While transitioning from homeowners insurance sales to wholesaling, Cody began delegating a lot of his insurance work to others so he could focus on wholesaling. Within the first 6 months, Cody was doing a quarter million dollars in revenue, and within 18 months he had had his first million dollar year. For Cody, the key has been effective marketing. Cody made his marketing headlines match the main message he was hearing from existing clients. Licensed realtors can do a similar thing by asking people what they liked about the realtor they hired and taking that data and using it in your own marketing. Put your marketing in layman’s terms that people can understand and that meets your customer where they are. Cody suggests finding wholesalers at investment clubs and match-making them with cash buyers, found through the Real Estate Investor Association. Use Facebook groups to find wholesalers.  Nothing about entrepreneurship is easy, but it is simple. Cody is confident that everyone knows at least 7-10 real estate agents, but those aren’t the contacts a person needs when they are in a distressed situation and need to sell their home or don’t have the money to fix a distressed home. Most marketing communicates its whole message in the photo, which prevents people from actually reading what your message is because they already know they’re being sold to. Cody’s own marketing is just black text on a white background so that people are forced to actually read his message to know what it is. Only take advice from people you are willing to trade places with. Your income will never outpace your personal development. 3 Key Points: Be willing to take imperfect action rather than taking no action. Focus on marketing and meet your potential clients where they are. Work on your personal development and income will follow.

Is simplier always better?  What about in songwriting?  The latest Luke Bryan song is put to the test!  For Carrie Underwood it's making her bed.  For Cody all of her money has to be facing the same way.  For Pat it's the gas pump: it has to end on an even number.  What are you OCD about?  Some of the answers, particularly Lyndsay and Lori are fantastic.  And what country star almost got thrown out of his daughters 7 and 8 year old softball games?  

Thinking of vlogging but doesn't know where to start? Don't think you're any good on camera? Afraid you don't have the right equipment? With these simple tips and tricks you'll be able to  get started right away. You will become an authority in the marketplace and build trust with your ideal clients so you can win more new agency business. In this episode, we'll cover: #1 reason your agency should be vlogging. More benefits of vlogging. Why video views and subscriber numbers don't matter. How to get started and what equipment you need. Today I got to talk with Cody Wanner, daily vlogger and co-founder of the video production company CAP Collective. After watching and being inspired by another vlogger, Cody thought about creating his own daily video series. Over a year of thinking about it, he finally decided to just do it and it's been a major game-changer for his video agency. With Cody's simple tips and easy style, he shares how your agency can start vlogging immediately. #1 Reason Your Agency Should Be Vlogging It Builds Trust! Just getting a face in front of people, in front of possible clients and talking to them is building trust. Consistent face time will build trust between your agency and your audience and trust is everything. People buy from people they trust. And, with that trust comes authority. Trust + authority = more new agency business More Benefits Of Vlogging Sharing content via a vlog will help position your agency as an expert in the marketplace. Your audience will look to your agency for answers. There's a serious ROI when you vlog on a consistent basis. For Cody, his vlog has also become a constant follow-up tool to help keep his agency top of mind. His consistent (daily) video content serves as a reminder to his prospects, and works SO MUCH BETTER than a "checking in" phone call. Why Video Views And Subscriber Numbers Don't Matter Cody has a cool movement he's pushing right now, which he's calling No Small Creator  #nosmallcreator... he says there is no such thing as a small creator or small subscriber. He believes anyone who's creating content is a big deal. There's no such thing as insignificant content because you never know who is going to be inspired by something you say or create... your content could be influencing the next Oprah. You never know who your viewers are, who they're sharing with or who they're affecting on a daily basis. Influence them to be great and let the domino affect happen. How To Get Started and What Equipment You Need Your agency needs to commit to uploading content every day - even if it's not great. Even if it's downright bad. Once you commit to that, you can trust the process and yourself. Once you start vlogging, it is in your entrepreneurial nature to make things better. If your agency just starts uploading content, the process will take you to reviewing, analyzing and improving on it because that is what you do. Perfection is the enemy of good. Your agency's vlogging is probably not going to be perfect at first but upload it anyway. As my friend Ian Garlic says, What Type Of Equipment Your Agency Needs To Start Vlogging Check your pocket. The best equipment is the equipment you already have... meaning, don't let equipment be an excuse that keeps you from vlogging! If all the video equipment you have is a smart phone - use it. Vlogging on a smart phone can be just as successful as with expensive equipment. As you get more experience and more comfortable you may want to buy other equipment, but it's not a necessity. And if you really want to know more about equipment, here's a video about what I use now. Just note - I started by using my iPhone and iPad! :) Vlogging is not about the technical quality of the footage, it's about the story you tell. The way you document growth or change and how your agency is helping others. You can check out my evolution as a vlogger... and seriously, it was pretty rough when I first started. This was my first vlog episode and it's pretty terrible! Cody and I agree; just start by documenting what your agency is doing and get it out there. Find a main focus and go do it. And be sure to make it your own - modeling other vloggers is ok as long as your end product is genuine to who you are.   Looking for a Payroll and HR Solution for your Agency?

How do you throw a successful festival? For Cody, it was as if he was meant for this role as founder of a highly successful music festival. Spanning a full weekend in July, with over 350 musical acts spanning 30+ stages, over 20,000 people will be roaming around a once blighted neighborhood not many gave a thought to. Cody sits down with Hoon to talk about his childhood, the humble beginnings of a barcrawl, his role as a community organizer and creating opportunities in an organic way. This episode features a different sort of disruptor who always seems to find solutions, doesn't linger too long on his hardships, and manages to keep his sanity (and marriage) happily intact. In fact, he wouldn't want it any other way. Find out why "it all started with a garden."
